Best-of-breed navigator with augmented reality! HEAVEN Driver Assistant (HDA): artificial intelligence, and video recorder in one device. A true friend on the road who will take over part of your routine en route. HDA works as your guide when you don't know the route. Advises you when you don't see signs. Warns you when you run the risk of driving against the lights or hitting a pedestrian. Protects against collisions with inadvisable vehicles and unexpected obstacles. This smart guy transforms the dangerous world outside your iron "baby" into a new reality, almost as attractive as in your favorite cyberpunk games. LEADING THE WAY 1. Set destination. Build a route instantly. Go. 2. Voice assistant. 3. Switch to the mode of broadcasting video of the road with built-in AR objects. Track the route on the mini-map. Receive visual and audio clues along the way. 4. Quickly switch to the full-screen mode of the map if necessary, and easily return to the video broadcast mode. AUGMENTED WITH NEW REALITY 1. AR arrow allows you not to stray from the route, it is always in sight, built into the scene of reality. It dynamically changes its direction in accordance with the direction of movement. 2. Tips for turns are like a part of the surrounding space - they appear at the right moment, at the right point in space on the smartphone screen. 3. Cars and pedestrians around and in the direction of travel get their virtual image, which changes color and shape as you approach or move away from them. ALL-SEEING 1. All road signs at a glance. HDA recognizes more than 70 signs in the direction of travel and instantly displays them on the screen. 2. Traffic lights will not go unnoticed. A few tens of meters before the crossroads, HDA visualizes their virtual image on the screen in the current color. 3. Pedestrians and cars are recognized in real-time while driving. You won't miss them. 4. Speed radar alert. RETROSPECTIVE 1. Video recording while driving is available from the main screen. Recording activation and deactivation occur with one click. 2. Video fragments are stored directly in the application by date and time. 3. Video recording is duplicated in the phone, with the possibility of subsequent editing, organizing, and transferring to the cloud. PREVENIENT 1. Events and objects in dynamics change their status and, as a consequence, their color. High risk corresponds to the red spectrum. Low - to the green. 2. HDA detects the approach of pedestrians and cars for several tens of meters, providing time for the driver to decide about maneuvering or braking. SMART, BEAUTIFUL, AND FUNCTIONAL 1. HDA uses all the processing power of Apple smartphones to process video information based on neural networks and provides high-precision detection of objects and events. Alerts, warnings, and visualizations appear on the screen in real-time. 2. The interfaces are thought out and balanced as much as possible. The main screen contains complete information about driving parameters, including speed, route, turn alerts, built-in dynamic AR objects, and control buttons. 3. The implemented user experience does not burden the driver. Surfing the app is simple, easy, and intuitive. 4. HDA contains all the necessary settings, including setting up alerts for each object or event. 5. Supports Russian and English languages. Concentration is the key to road safety. Concentration leads to a goal, avoids unpleasant incidents, and saves lives. But the paradox is that it also tires, making the driver slow, inattentive, sometimes even dangerous. HEAVEN Driver Assistant brings a new level of confidence on the road with augmented reality technology and artificial intelligence. With a free 7-day period, you can get acquainted with all the functionality of the HDA.
